CentOS - Dec 2019 - Nginx on CentOS 7: which one for production?

Hi,

I'm currently fiddling with Nginx to get acquainted with its various 
quirks and idiosyncrasies.

I have a public CentOS 7 sandbox server, and I've tried various setups. 
Install the binary from EPEL, install various binaries from SCLo, build 
from source.

I wonder which version is recommended for production use on CentOS 7. 
Any suggestions?

Cheers & happy Christmas holidays,

Niki

I suggest using the upstream package. Instructions can be found here:

https://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#RHEL-CentOS

There's some conflicting information about how to set up your virtual 
servers in /etc in various blogs. Look at the official documentation to 
see their recommended setup. Most of your customization goes in 
/etc/nginx/conf.d.

A few weeks ago I bought an online video course about Nginx on Udemy, 
and I really enjoyed it. (Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated in any way)

At this point I'm already vaguely familiar with setting up Nginx. I was 
only a little confused about which binary version to choose.

Cheers,

Niki

It all depends on your needs. The nginx repo has 1.16.1, EPEL currently has
nginx 1.16.1 as well but could lag depending on the package maintainer. My
take is that the upstream repo will be the most up to date, but the EPEL
repo might be the most "correct" or tested on RHEL/CentOS.
